Chapter 55 Tank Detachment

With the cooperation of the soldiers in Xujia Village, reinforcements quickly entered Xujia Village and met successfully.

But at this time, the soldiers had no time to celebrate the meeting, but continued to attack forward with the extended artillery fire. Several fighter jets even joined the bombing of the Japanese army at the forefront of Xujia Village.

The sky gradually darkened, and the Japanese army took advantage of this time to disperse into the jungle.

The Chinese army also knew this, but the shells were still firing towards the Japanese army one by one... These shells were not actually trying to kill the enemy or blow up positions, but to cover the sound of tank teams interspers along the mountain road.

The two tanks led by the tank team are Sherman, and both tanks are equipped with forklifts at the front... Sherman is a multi-function tank, and it only needs to install a forklift on the front to be converted into an armored bulldozer.

Of course, this shovel is not used to shovel soil at this time. However, because the trees are not wide enough on many sections of the mountain road, it is easy to shovel the trees with thick thighs after installing the forklift... This will indeed cause a lot of noise, but firstly, the Japanese army was just defeated and busy hiding, and secondly, the explosion of shells and smoke from surrounding areas covered up all this well.

Zhang Chi and others followed behind the tank. At this time, the tank did not even drive the headlights, and they relied entirely on the driver's previous drills and infantry guidance to drive forward... The infantry's guidance was actually simple. Several infantry lay behind the tank and poked their heads forward to look. If the tank was to tilt left, the infantry on the left would smash it on the tank with a butt. If it was to tilt right, the infantry on the right would smash it. If it was too biased, it would smash it twice.

Because the tank was not moving fast and the driver was already familiar with this mountain road, it was very smooth to drive along the way.

There were occasionally a few Japanese scattered soldiers, but they all did not expect that there would be tank troops to penetrate here, and they did not have suitable anti-tank weapons in their hands, so they could only use their old trick, which was to rush up with cluster grenades and explosive packs.

It should be said that the Japanese army is still very likely to succeed at this time. Because this is a mountain road, and there are jungles that are convenient for hiding on both sides. The Japanese army just need to hide in the jungles on both sides, and just wait for the tanks to drive up and rush up with explosives bags.

Unfortunately, there are also Burmese Independence Volunteers in the jungle. They held Burmese swords in their hands and lie on both sides of the mountain road early in the morning. Whenever they see a ghost, they will touch them from behind.

So along the way, the Myanmar Independence Volunteer Army issued a secret code with flashlights... This was a agreement between Zhang Chi and the Myanmar Independence Volunteer Army, which means safety, and the other was to guide the right direction for the tanks. Another thing was that the person in the jungle was his own people at this time.

Occasionally, the tank team would encounter a few Japanese soldiers hiding in the trees to fire guns, so the soldiers would not be polite to him. They picked up the anti-aircraft machine guns on the tank and swept them randomly in the direction of the gunfire. In a few strokes, they flattened the crown of the Japanese sniper hiding.

The convoy advanced in the dark for more than ten minutes, and turned around and ran into the jungle under the guidance of the Myanmar Independence Volunteers... This is the highlight of this interspersion. The mountain road will not lead directly to Panmai, so the tank must enter a road that seems to have no road but actually has roads.

This road that seems to be roadless actually refers to the jungle that is full of trees and vines that appear to be inaccessible to pass through, but the tanks are effortless to roll over.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that he would not be discovered by the Japanese army after entering the jungle like this, but unexpectedly, after only a dozen minutes of advance, there were gunfires coming from the front. Then, a series of shells continued to explode in the tank queue, and shrapnel and branches and leaves were flying everywhere.

Judging from this stance, the Japanese army seemed to be prepared and set up traps in front of them... This made Zhang Chi feel strange. Only a few people knew about this operation, and it was very confidential. How could the Japanese army know about it in advance and ambush here?

"Zhang..." Pete shouted at Zhang Chi behind another tank: "The enemy is prepared, their artillery fire is very fierce, the plan fails, let's retreat!"

Zhang Chi thought about it and refused, "No. We should not retreat, we should continue to move forward!"

"We will all die!" Pete shouted anxiously: "You can't do this!"

But Zhang Chi ignored Pete and gave a loud order: "Everyone has it, break through at full speed!"

After hearing the order, the tank driver quickly stepped on the accelerator and used the fastest speed to overwhelm the big trees and rushed forward.

Pete's judgment was correct, and the Japanese army was indeed prepared to set up an ambush here.

But Pitt's judgment was also wrong, because the original intention of the ambush set up by the Japanese army was not aimed at Zhang Chi's army.

The reason why the Japanese army set up an ambush here was a coincidence. Not long ago, they happened to catch several members of Chindichi in this jungle.

After some interrogation, these Chindith members could not bear the pain of flesh and lied that the Chindith troops would attack the Japanese command center from this direction... The Japanese army believed this information because Chindith troops did this. Regarding these opponents who had just blown up two supply warehouses, Tanaka Shinichi sent two squadrons of Japanese troops without hesitation, and also had several mountain cannons ambushed here and set up pocket formations.

Some subordinates suggested that Shinichi Tanaka transfer the command center, because this is likely to indicate that the location of the command center has been exposed.

But Shinichi Tanaka answered: "I transferred the command center. What if the Chindite troops discovered it? They would not get into our encirclement, let alone... I came here to supervise the war. If I escaped only by this little danger, how could I ask the soldiers on the front line to fight bravely?!"

The subordinates thought about it and thought it was... at the same time, they felt that two squadrons had already laid ambush, and it was impossible for the Chindith army to come too many people, so no matter how dangerous it was, it was not very serious! So they did not persuade them again.

But unexpectedly, the Japanese army lying here was waiting for not the Chindite troops but the Chinese tank troops, a tank unit that cooperated with the stairs and tanks... This was similar to the discovery of aliens in the jungle war.

So when the Japanese commander Okada Konasa watched the tanks breaking the trees easily towards them like steel giants, he couldn't help but be surprised that his chin almost fell off.
